About Green Design Systems

Straw Wall is an infill wall system that can be used in a wide range of interior and exterior applications. Straw Walls are made from rice straw, 100% recycled steel mesh and FSC-certified lumber. Using custom-designed production machinery, Straw Wall sections are produced by compressing straw between two sheets of metal mesh. Steel ties protrude through the straw, connecting the two sheets of steel mesh. The mesh is then fastened inside a wood perimeter. The result is a sturdy, insulative wall section that can be produced in various sizes, shapes and thicknesses, according to customer specifications. Sections can easily include electrical chases that allow for simple and fast electrical installation. Straw Walls can be finished with stucco, lime plaster, clay plaster, or even sheetrock or conventional siding.
